White Clarke Group – Mainland Europe

Europe has now become the largest region in the world in terms of pure asset leasing (34% of world trade), with an annual turnover of $213 billion.

White Clarke Group opened its first office on the European Continent at the beginning of 2008 in Munich, Germany.  Managed by Peter Kainradl, Munich has since become the head office of our European expansion first into Austria, with several more regional offices planned over the next few years.

Since 2007 Germany has become the largest leasing market in Europe, worth more than €50 billion in new business each year. German leasing companies are expanding actively into both the western and eastern European regions, to support both the expansion of German industries and also to find new local clients.

White Clarke Group is a member of the BDL (Bundesverband Deutscher Leasing-Unternehmen), VÖL (Verband Österreichischer Leasing-Gesellschaften) and an associate member of Eurofinas.

Our Austrian offices were opened in 2009 as a subsidiary of White Clarke Germany in response to the remarkable growth of our business in the Austrian marketplace. Located in the city of Vienna, White Clarke Austria is now supporting three of the top-5 leasing companies in Vienna and the regions. With over 30% of the marketplace, every third new leasing contract in Austria is now transacted through a White Clarke solution.

As the traditional gateway to Central and Eastern Europe, many clients have integrated their foreign subsidiaries into a single platform, with the largest cluster operating 5 countries on a single White Clarke application platform.

European companies such as Autobank, BAWAG PSK Leasing, EBV Leasing, FFS Private Leasing, Heidelberg Print Finance, Raiffeisen IMPULS Leasing, Hypo Group Alpe Adria, Raiffeisen Leasing and Volkswagen Financial Services have recognised the advantages of a WCG solution.
